The petition was expected to be tabled soon in the Legislative Council.

Maylands, Bayswater and Mt Lawley residents raised concerns last year over a proposal to widen the road up to 10m to make way for bus queue jumps, cycle lanes and a median strip, which would cut into verges, front yards and buildings.

Last month newly appointed Planning Minister Rita Saffioti announced the Government would “fast-track” the looming Metropolitan Region Scheme amendment from East Parade to Tonkin Highway.

Guildford Road to Ruin founder Graeme Reany said it had been 152 days since residents received a letter notifying them of the proposed widening, 138 since now-Planning Minister Rita Saffioti pledged to stop the proposal and 74 days since the election.

Ms Baker said she was proud of community for its campaigning.

The WAPC is expected to present its recommendation to Ms Saffioti shortly.
